Go for it, IMO all you have missed out on is a lot of pain and redundant learning :)
Imagine web design never having known IE5.5 ... it's like a dream...
The power available now compared to 10 years ago to create stunning applications with only basic programming knowledge is phenomenal. I do suggest you skip the web and go learn a mobile platform though, android development is a good (and free!) place to start as it's still relatively new so there are lots of people learning and great resources available.
